In 1963 the CBS historical series "The Great Adventure" made an all-star production out of Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. In recent years TV Land has made that episode, called "Go Down, Moses," a Black History Month staple. It airs at 7 tonight. Ruby Dee (who plays Tubman) and her husband, Ossie Davis, star in "Go Down, Moses," as does blues legend Ethel Waters. Almost as noteworthy was "The Great Adventure" series itself. It was a high-polish effort, produced by John Houseman in conjunction with the National Education Association. The theme song was written by Richard Rodgers, one of only three times he ever wrote for TV. The series lasted just two years on CBS, however, joining "Omnibus" and "Profiles in Courage" on the scrap heap of television history.
